Summary
"I said," Lan Wangji said, then has to pause, struggling for words. "I said. I wanted to help you. I meant it."
Wei Ying's mouth twitches in a bemused smile. He caresses Lan Wangji's cheek with his knuckles for a long moment, and watches Lan Wangji lean into it; then, sudden as a flame touched to kindling, anger blossoms in his eyes. He takes his hand away.
"Too little, too late, isn't it?" he asked. "After all, I'm already dead."
The Wen were, during Wei Wuxian's death, truly wiped out. Lan Wangji has long resolved to follow Wei Ying without question if he ever returns to the world, but when that resurrection occurs he finds himself serving a bitter and mistrustful Wei Wuxian with far more on his mind than returning to life quietly—and treading painfully in the shadow of Wei Ying's beloved Ghost General.
